Celebrating 30 Years!

For Our Children’s Future: 30th Anniversary Speaker Series

The Children’s Partnership (TCP) is proud to celebrate thirty years as a premier non-profit policy organization dedicated to moving the needle forward for the health and well-being of all children. Starting in October 2023, TCP is honoring its 30th anniversary with our “For Our Children’s Future: 30th Anniversary Speaker Series.” We are honoring our belief that California is stronger in its commitment to children because of work we have accomplished together over the last 30 years. At the same time, as our state and nation continue to be at a critical juncture in their commitment to children, we are recommitting ourselves to the work needed to ensure the healthy development of all children as we look to the next 30 years and beyond.

Children and Our Multiracial Democracy

An Evening of Celebration and Camaraderie

Join The Children’s Partnership on Tuesday, October 22, as we close our 30th anniversary celebration with an evening filled with conversation, music and connection!

We’ll convene in downtown Los Angeles for a panel discussion featuring women of color leaders working to make California a healthier, stronger and more welcoming place for all California children and their families.

We are fiercely proud of the progress we have made in California in the past 30 years, and how that progress can serve as a model for the nation. But we know there is still work to be done as we head toward Election Day and look to the future. In our panel conversation, we’ll discuss how we can continue to strengthen our multiracial democracy to support the health of every child. And then we’ll gather to embrace the joy of being in community and in this work together!
